There was a leak of radioactive
material on Friday on board a Turkish Airlines freight plane at Delhi's Indira
Gandhi International Airport, government and airport officials said, adding it
had been contained.
The
leak was found in a medical consignment, a source at the capital's airport told
Reuters, adding that the site had been cordoned off by emergency services who
put a blanket over the spill.
Home
Minister Rajnath Singh, who was holding a news conference when news of the leak
broke, said the atomic energy experts had been immediately dispatched to the
scene.
The
airport source denied media reports that leak was large and said no people had
suffered any radioactive contamination. The airport was later due to put out a
statement.
